"Holy cartel, Batman!"
I picked up oil at $5.69/qt for Mobil 1, a new filter at $5.99 for an AC/Delco, a filter wrench at $8.99 to fit the oversized cover boss. I bought 5 quarts because I "knew" the 9-3's 4-cylinder engine required more oil than my 9-5, but I didn't realize how much more!
I thought I was being smart by picking up the necessary bits and pieces early for my 1,000 mile oil change, car has under 500 miles. Now it is back to the parts store for 2 more quarts.
What grade of synthetic are most other 9-3 drivers using? I bought 5W/40 since it has worked better in my 9-5 than 0W/40, but I saw the owner's manual specifies either 0W/30 or 0W/40.
Thanks.
